Pretty much none. Like a cucumber which I think it resembles in flavor. The most common use is for sweet pickles. All of the watermelon pikles I have had are too sweet for me but I had it in a mixed dill relish and couldn’t tell the difference. I have seen it cooked on one of the food shows just steamed.

Preparation, uses, and tips
Beets are best when cooked whole, to retain the flavor, color, and nutrients. To prepare beets, cut off the green tops, leaving an inch of the stem to prevent bleeding and flavor loss. Scrub beets, wrap them in foil, and bake for 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, depending on their size, at 400°F (200°C). Let them cool slightly and then peel the skins off. Baby beets can be steamed whole for about 30 minutes, then peeled and sliced. Beet leaves have a rich flavor resembling that of spinach. If they are crisp and bright green, they can be steamed or braised with onions and garlic in a little olive oil.

Re your weight loss fasting plan. Okay first off, not eating for a week is about the WORST thing that you could do for your body. Not only will you not be able to carry out normal everyday functions, but your body will go into starvation mode. This starvation mode means that when you do start to eat again your body will hold on to every single calorie and gram of fat that you put into it because it doesn’t know when you’ll eat again.

So in other words, you will gain back the weight you loose at super speed.

Seriously, if you want to loose weight that fast, just eat a bunch of veggies (like cabbage and carrots) and at least one fruit a day, and a bunch of egg white(for protein and it’s fat free).

Something really important to remember is that lean protein will end up helping you loose more fat and gain more muscle. Also, cabbage and celery have negative calories. That means you will actually be BURNING more calories by eating them.

So please, don’t starve yourself! Also get the PCOS checked out as that could be causing your weight gain

Works and fast don’t last. If you want to lose weight and keep it off, you have to rearrange your thought processes and be patient:

Here’s all you need to lose weight all over, look good, and get really healthy. First, you have to realize there is no quick, long lasting weight loss plan or pill that is going to do the trick. It’s purely mental. You have to learn to “Eat to live, don’t live to eat”. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? It is, if you understand that you are going to be reprogramming how you think about eating for the next few weeks. Old habits die hard, right? Not really. You get rid of bad habits by replacing them with good habits. If you learn to count your calories, keep calorie intake lower than output, exercise moderately, and eat only healthy food, you will lose weight. That’s a fact. All it takes is repetition. All success stories have this in common: The successful folks among us know how to be patient, persistent, and consistent. Set a goal, write it down, and stick with it. The benefits of feeling good will outweigh any sense of sacrifice you might feel about having to push away that cake and ice cream.

Peter answers:

Eat less and exercise. It’s the ONLY effective weight loss plan.

Anyone who says otherwise is selling something.

Peter answers:

Theyre ripoffs… And they arent healthy for you..if you read fine print they tell you to eat right and exercise so that tells you that they dont work.. So its better just to do it the old fashioned way, eat right and exercise!

Peter answers:

There are no vitamins or supplements that will help you lose weight. If you keep to a well balanced healthy diet then you will take in everything you need on those lines.

Count the calories, spread out the meals to keep your appetite in control drink enough water and exercise. Doing this will lose you weight.

There are plenty of places to find out recommended calorie needs etc.

Avoid extreme diet like Atkins. These do leave you short of essentials. And moreover they are often boring and therefore hard to stick to.

Peter answers:

Of course yes, kids and children should avoid the supplements. They should take only the natural diets only. They should do some exercises, that’s enough for teens and children.

Peter answers:

The first thing to learn about weight loss supplements is how and why different types work so that you can find the best one for your own body. There are some good articles posted here that explain how and why different types of diet pills work. Http://www.weightlossfatloss.us/diet_pills.asp Find the right one and they work great.

Peter answers:

Not without a prescription. Eating healthy (including portion control) and exercise is still the best way to lose weight. 1-2 pounds/week is considered reasonable healthy weight loss. You may lose weight a little faster than that at first as your body adapts to eating healthy and exercise. However, more long term rapid weight loss is more stressful on your body and less likely to be permanent.

Cut out sweets, seconds and junk including processed foods and things made from white flour. Use the whole grain version instead like whole wheat or multi-grain bread, whole wheat pasta (which I actually prefer), and brown rice. Drink only water. However, allow yourself one small cheat a week. This keeps you from feeling deprived and gives you something to look forward to the rest of the week.

Some people have no snacks. I find I get headaches if I don’t eat more frequently, especially when first starting to eat healthy and exercise. I’ll allow myself a healthy snack of a small piece of fruit or veggies. Just be sure no dressing or peanut butter with it. Studies have shown that it is better to have 3 medium size meals and 2 small snacks rather than just 3 large meals. This helps keep blood sugar more steady. Plus you won’t feel so hungry at meal times.

Try dividing you plate into quarters. First fill half with fruits and veggies, The other quarters are for the lean protein and whole grain carb. This will help limit your calories and ensure you get plenty of fruits and veggies.

Peter answers:

A good diet and proper exercise. You can make time for exercise if you really wanted to. People just keep making excuses about not having time to do so.

Peter answers:

I have found that when dealing with natural weight loss supplements not all products will work for all people. Women need to take non-stimulant weight loss products for 8-12 weeks for you to notice any significant weight loss. I would make sure that you drink plenty of water. The usual recommendation is to take your body weight and divide it by two. The result is the minimum number of ounces of water that you should consume per day.The product that I have found some good success with is called Slimirex. This natural weight loss supplement does contain a mild stimulant.

Slimaluma™ – This herb has been used in Ayurvedic Medicine as an appetite suppressant and weight loss promoter.

Super Citrimax® – This herbal extract is combined with chromium and other minerals and herbs into a potent clinical strength formula. It helps to curb the appetite while helping to promote the substance in the brain, which helps maintain a positive mood. Citrimax® also includes a natural body energizer.

Advantra Z® – This extract of a natural Chinese citrus plant has the unique ability to help fire up your body to promote fat burning. It also functions to help energize your body while helping to support the creation of lean body and muscle mass.

7-Keto – This naturally occurring substance is responsible for breaking down the hormone DHEA (the hormone of youth). 7-Keto triggers enzyme in the body to help turn up the process in the body that burns fat, while boosting mental wellbeing. 7-Keto levels can decline with age so it is important to keep the levels up.

Gugulipid – This resin from a tree has been used in Ayurvedic Medicine for over 2,600 years!
It has been revealed that this resin helps to support normal cholesterol levels and control fatty build-up. The substance found in Gugulipids is also believed to have the ability to bind to fats and cholesterol and help flush them out of your system.

Forslean – This special herbal extract has been found to be an important weapon in fighting fat while helping to promote lean body mass.

Bioperine® – This extract from black pepper has been found to help enhance the body’s natural ability to turn up its firepower to burn fat. Bioperine® also works in helping the nutrients you take be absorbed more efficiently.

I hope this helps you to achieve your weight loss goals.

Peter answers:

Balanced diet and exercise. Period. I just know if you are taking in more calories every day than you are burning running on the treadmill, you have to make some changes. Drop your caloric intake or increase the amount of exercise, or better yet – do both. Little things that can help – replace your computer chair with an excerise ball, take the stairs instead of the elevator, don’t skip meals (and make them healthy meals), fidget (belive it or not tapping your foot or clenching your butt while you sit burns more calories than just sitting still). Good luck
